About this course
BSc in Physics with Astrophysics (Industrial), a physics and physics with astrophysics degree focused on the study of the universe from planets to distant galaxies. Core topics include Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students complete an industrial placement year as part of the programme and have access to an on-campus observatory for optical telescope training. The final year centres on advanced study through compulsory modules such as Cosmology, Star and Planet Formation, and Project. Optional modules allow specialisation in subjects like Advanced Quantum Physics, Quantum Matter, Advanced Optics with Photonics, Magnetism and Ferroic Materials, Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics, Advanced Mechanics, and Molecular Simulation with Machine Learning: Theory and Practice.
